  • Sicily on a bike

    Hi! just got back from a most magical trip to the north west corner of Sicily. My mom is 73 years old, and loves riding bikes and drinking olive oil (we have a lot in common), so we are trying to do a trip like this each year for as long as she can. Last…

  • post peak leaf

    I just got back from 10 days in Sicily (another blog), and the leaves have officially dropped here in ol’ nutmeg country. the month of October is always a busy one with hosting friends along with 2 events culminating with the Nutmeg Nor’Easter, so I thought I would post a little retrospective here to the…

  • Durango MTB vacay

    dang where does the time go. I feel like I open a lot of blogs and news letters with that question. I will also continue to do so, as change is tough, tougher than expected at mid life — although I plan on living a pretty long time. experiences like what are being experienced in…

  • ’96 Riv customer custom

    not my best photo set — but I forgot to take these glam shots, and the customer was right there picking up the bike mid day, so I had to make due with the dapples “Dick Hardman” was the previous owner. when I asked the customer where he got it, he replied “a 75 year…

  • 2025 Nutmeg Nor’Easter Registration and info

    another world championship of alt biking and liking — the 9th annual! this year, like last year and the year before, will be held at Dear Lake Camp in Killingworth Connecticut — enveloped in quaintness and it’s trappings. what deep pleasures in these soft times of bumpy bike rides! here is some media from 2…

  • bikes with our tires at made

    not much to say here except for this was one heck of a show for us at ULTRADYNAMICO. we started this tire company in 2018 with the idea that we wanted to make tires for the custom builder market — 7 years in, after a show like this, it feels like we’ve hit our stride.…

  • my time at the MADE bike show

    wow what a show. we even upgraded to a non hand painted sign this year! maybe next year I will also spring for a rons sign maybe. rons was just meant to be just a symbol, so thats the story behind the basic brand name. who is Ron? I don’t know. So why have a…

  • making bikes in new england

    lead in from the title, that sentiment is a real fun thought for me. nourishing even. a bowl of steaming oats. wasn’t on my radar a few years ago, but nonetheless here we are. the photo above are the first three CR1 frames to go out to customers from the pre order — and color…

  • custom alumax flat bar grav

    here is another ALUMAX ALUMINUS MAXIMUS custom customer build for you with the standard fork. First “flat bar” build. Customer suggested the Crust Loose Bar by nitto. happened to have one in the bar bin already, so that went well. it is my size and all, so I’ve gotten to ride it around to test…

  • Early summer musings

    happy 4th folks, its a long weekend and I got up early for no reason really other than I don’t like sleeping in when the days bring so much summery promises. not to mention I made granola for the first time in a while last night, and contrary to the popular belief that beans are…
